323 Lost
I first observed the two guards at the door. They didn’t intend to contact anyone and were standing there.
If I were to force my way out, I should also be able to do it. My power was increasing daily, but I still couldn’t beat Michael. However, I could confidently say that most people in the palace were no match for me.
However, forcing our way in was not a good idea. Michael knew I’d defeated Joanna, so he wouldn’t just send a few people to guard the door. Furthermore, Michael would restrict my freedom even more if I were to slip up and get caught. At that time, I would be in an even more difficult situation than I was now.
Most importantly, I didn’t want to have any more disputes with Michael in person.
I didn’t know how long our current situation would last, but before it improved, I planned to find the truth in my way, and the first step was not to be discovered by Michael and completely lose my freedom.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI quietly retreated from the door and looked around our room.
I’d become very familiar with the place we were living in. Michael and I lived on the east side of the palace, and we usually went in and out from the east side door.
Our bedroom was on the second floor, and below our bedroom window was a small house by the corridor. If I were to jump out of the window, I would be able to land directly on the roof. As for the height of that one-story building, it was not a problem for me, who had already become a Lycan.
Another good thing was that Michael and I lived on the east side of the palace, and there were a lot of green plants and grass outside, so people didn’t come here often. I could leave here quietly without being discovered.
When I got out, everyone would know I was Michael’s consort even if someone recognized me. The only area he could control was the place where I lived. As long as I got out, no one would find anything amiss.
My escape was as smooth as I had imagined. To avoid being discovered by Michael’s men, I didn’t choose to leave from the main entrance. Instead, I crossed the green plants on the east side and tried to go around the lawn on the other side.
This was where I miscalculated.
The distance after the detour was far beyond my imagination. I followed the green plants for a long time. When I saw the sun in the middle of the sky, I realized that I had deviated from the direction.
If I went out from the main entrance, I would only take half an hour at most to walk out of this complex. Then, I could order a car and go to my destination – the Royal Library.
There must be some records about the mark there. I didn’t have anyone I could trust in the palace, so I could only rely on books to give me more knowledge.
But I’d been walking on the grass for almost two hours. I suspected I’d already walked five miles or more.
I was sure there was no problem with my direction at the beginning, but later on, I lost my way.
I swallowed my saliva and began to regret not taking the cup of coffee from Michael’s hands in the morning. Or I should have brought some water before going out.
Damn it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWho would’ve thought that I’d be out for so long? I thought the most difficult part would be getting out of the house, but I never thought that the problem would be that I needed help finding the right direction.
I was vexed that I had gone too far to the east initially. I thought it would be challenging for Michael’s men to find me. Or, I should go back the way I came. As long as I saw the bush I saw at the beginning, I could identify the direction again.
I looked at the sun’s position in the sky. It was constantly emitting light and heat. It would continue to work like this for a few hours, and I would become increasingly thirsty. This was why werewolves always preferred the moon. We were good at dealing with the cold, but we didn’t like places that were too hot.
Going back the way we came was a safe choice, but it also meant that my operation had failed.
‘That’s not exactly accurate,’ I thought rather bitterly. This was a partial failure if the experience of failure could be considered a benefit.
I went through all the possible plans in my head twice but still couldn’t come up with a definite idea. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of running water.
The sound of water represented the river.
There was only one river in the vicinity, the Moridius River. It flowed down from the Moridius Mountains behind the palace. As long as I followed the river, I could find my way.
My spirits were instantly lifted. Water was what I needed the most right now. It could solve my immediate needs and give me the freedom to choose.
